Per our previous discussion, are the Republicans hurt or helped by this new

The  Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Redistricting Committee issued its 
new  congressional district maps this afternoon.  Massachusetts lost one of  
its 10 congressional districts.  The redrawn districts pits two  incumbents 
-- Stephen Lynch and William Keating -- in the redrawn 8th  district.  But 
Keating can avoid facing Lynch and run in the re-drawn 9th  district if he 
(Keating) uses his summer home in Bourne (on Cape Cod), which  he has owned 
for the past 17 years, as his legal address.  At least this  is the current 
thinking.



Here are two links for the new  maps.
